Women's entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan has reached a new level. The conditions created for the development of women's business activities serve not only economic growth, but also increase their activity in society. In this process, the support of the head of state and the financial assistance provided by banks are of great importance.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "YarntextileFotima" craft center, located in the "Guliston" neighborhood of the Chilonzor district of Tashkent city, is one of the important initiatives to support women's entrepreneurship. This center, headed by entrepreneur Fatima Kurbanova, organizes practical training courses on weaving, embroidery, making jewelry and souvenirs in national style. Through this project, Fatima Kurbanova aims to provide vocational training to the local population, especially to open the door of new opportunities for unemployed and disabled women.
The center, which started working on the initiative of Fatima Qurbanova, was supported by "Mikrokreditbank" ADB with a preferential loan of 100 million soums. As a result, 115 women were permanently employed, 3,000 vocational students are receiving online and offline training. 13 young people who successfully completed their studies at the center started their own business, and 55 people continue to work at the center itself.
In addition, the bank provides preferential loans to citizens who have studied crafts and found their way, creating opportunities for them to start their own business.
The products made in this center are in demand not only in the local market, but also in the international market. For example, these handicrafts are exported to the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, USA and European countries. 
- We started selling our handicraft products to foreign countries via the Internet, - said the businessman in an interview with us. - Here we help our students learn the secrets of the craft and find their own market. Of course, the financial support of Mikrokreditbank has a special role in achieving such results. We are also paying loans on time. So, we are both helping women and earning income.
Of course, women's entrepreneurship is developing in our country in recent years. In this regard, preferential loans allocated by commercial banks are also very important.
For example, in the past period of 2025, Mikrokreditbank provided 201 billion to 11 thousand 268 women. preferential loans close to soums were allocated, as a result of which over 10,000 new jobs were created.
Supporting women's entrepreneurship not only ensures economic growth, but also plays an important role in strengthening the position of women in society. Enterprising women like Fatima Kurbanova are opening doors of new opportunities for hundreds of people. This, in turn, means that the era of entrepreneurship and success has begun for the women of our country.
